UNKNOWN KALIGHAT PATUA ARTIST | SEATED WOMAN WITH PEACOCK | WATERCOLOUR AND INK ON PAPER

Description

UNKNOWN KALIGHAT PATUA ARTIST

SEATED WOMAN WITH PEACOCK
WATERCOLOUR AND INK ON PAPER
UNSIGNED
12.5 X 19 INCHES

THIS WORK EMBODIES THE SPIRIT OF KALIGHAT PAINTING IN ITS ABILITY TO BLEND DEVOTIONAL THEMES WITH CONTEMPORARY, ALMOST SECULAR, REPRESENTATIONS OF BEAUTY AND GRACE. THE PEACOCK BECOMES A SYMBOL OF BOTH FOLK AESTHETIC AND ROMANTIC LONGING, WHILE THE WOMAN'S GAZE AND POSTURE ANCHOR HER WITHIN THE URBAN NARRATIVE OF COLONIAL BENGAL.
